The Aegis

Background


For most of Aurelia’s inhabitants, life is found along the thin twilight band which circles the planet. Throughout the northern lands, this is often referred to as The Aegis. Far from mere lyricism, the Aegis is a natural feature that provides both safety and protection in a world that offers little of either. As a result, most major settlements can be found along the Aegis. Of course, this is not to say that life cannot exist beyond the shelter of the Aegis - indeed, life has adapted cleverly to suit the extremes of either side of the planet, and small communities do exist throughout the rest of the land.
